I have been just diagnosed with A Fib, now on Digoxin and Atenolol, a beta blocker and now Coumadin. My doctor is suggesting electrical cardioversion. I have only had A Fib for less than a year, any suggestions from anyone? I did not even know that I was in A Fib, other than some generalized fatigue and diagnosed a year ago with sleep apnea. Thanks, concerned here. I am only 49.
